- No reasonable attempt seems ever to be taken in this newsgroup
- to debate fundamental assumption of evolution-version creation .
- There will be many different views on the matter but dating methods
- (circularity or not!) has to play a basic role. The above view is
- one of the few entirely reasonable ones and I tend to agree with it
- perhaps only that physical age of the earth seems old and biological
- age of humankind very young indeed.
- Parts of This newsgroup and almost all of Talk.origin exist in order
- to educate the public in the IC (Intellectually Correct) way of
- thinking on issues of origin of biological and geological origin.
- It serves this purpose reasonable well and has no other purpose.
